The microphone and the hadphone jacks are into one jack with 4 pins. I use a splitter to separate them.
The splitter works fine separathing the single jack into two: headphone and microphone jacks. I connected the headphones to the splitter (the headphone splitter) and the cable that comes from piano into the microphone jack from splitter. I can hear the piano sounds very clear, but I cannot record them. If I connect a microphone instead of the piano, the laptop captures the microphone sounds (not the internal microphone but the microphone I plugged into the splitter) and it is able to record them. > do your laptop support mic jack ? Yes, using the splitter it should work fine... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1263915 Title: Switch between microphones in Ubuntu 13.04 Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I want to record sounds from my piano. For this I have a jack cable that connects the piano with my laptop. My laptop has an built-in microphone that I don't want to use it when recording from my keyboard. So, I connected my piano with the laptop by jack cable. I can hear the piano sounds but Audacity records the internal microphone sounds. If I connect a microphone instead of piano, I can record the microphone sounds using Audacity. `pactl list sources` outputs this in the `Ports` section: ### Case 1 Piano is connected: analog-input-microphone-internal: Internal Microphone (priority: 8900) analog-input-microphone: Microphone (priority: 8700, not available) ### Case 2 An external microphone is connected: analog-input-microphone-internal: Internal Microphone (priority: 8900, not available) analog-input-microphone: Microphone (priority: 8700, available) How can I record the piano sounds?
